DREAMS do come true

the boy is getting jelly of the blogging so i said today is his day but i had to say something very important

I FOUND BARNEY BUTTER!!!!

although i did not buy it...this baby was almost 10 buckoroos and i was blog secret shopping but at least i know where it is! on the bottom shelf of fresh market GLORIOUS!! 

also tomorrow i am going to be making my first green smoothie. I am pretty pumped to become Popeye 

Question: i really like my smoothies on the thicker side (protein,fruit,and i can only assume green) what do you use to make it more thick and creamy?

no cord but did some serious baking

Cant find my camera cord!!!! ekk its somewhere. today was real boring eats so far i have just been munching since i have been super super stressed today. But its all good I'm just planning on going out and having a good time tonight with the boy and friends. 

RECAP:

• so i did take my boy out to eat to one of our favorite restaurants To Jays!(located in the mall) I got the hummus platter and Zo got the turkey burger. You better believe i took one of his fries. sooo good
  
• After that we went to whole foods(across the street) and got cookies! haha. I actually have always eyed their baked goods but never bought them since they are "bad" for you. it was totally delicious meant to only have half(don't we all) but ate it all (don't we all) 
• yesterday was a whole mess of me trying to figure out how i am going to make money before college starts,thank you notes, cleaning house,and random other errands.had no time for pictures 
• But yesterday i did go to this KILLER cardio/body strength class, took another day off today but did serious cleaning and baking (more of that in a min) today, so i got my workout ;)

whew! bullets are a godsend when there is a lot of info to say.

today i made Zoe boxed fudgey brownies (ok ok i cant lie i took a bite..2 bites) 

it was 12pm...needless to say i needed something to bust this craving and let me tell you extra gum was not going to squash my urge to eat a huge piece. 

SO I made these...

“Raw Vegan Coconut Brownie Bites“.

these were awesome!!! so so so good and at approx 120calories a pop made from all good for you foods how can you resist?

then i made Cherry Scones! i have been in the mood for some healthy scones i took pictures of all my baking goods but now i do not have my cord! grrrrr. oh well life goes on. 

Now we are basically just waiting for the night to get later and go out! I'm excited. 

Costco trip

Happy tuesday! I am writting this blog watching food network with my boy snoring next to me covered with pillows.haha totally snuck a picture

 

So this morning i woke up very sore and decided today would be a nice rest day since i didn't like the classes at my gym this morning. SO the boy and I decoded to go thrifting at goodwill and then costco!!!

Breakfast

 Toasted English muffin,1egg +2egg white, 3 yogurt pretzel,and a lil strawberry jelly.

I was still hungry an hour later so i had a banana and was good to go for the morning

We went to Costco and i got trio bars! dried cherries, these are so tart and juicy love it, and a 2lb bag of pecans(my favorite nut) ill add pictures later left all my goodies at the boys house.

I was about to buy so many other things but I'm not rich. 

Did you know they were selling Lara bar boxes,cliff bars,balance bars,zone bars? and a lot of organic products! i was amazed to see all the healthy foods, they even had fafel balls, and veggie burgers,chobani. Costco is defiantly blogger approved!

Lunch

a choco protein shake this is the best protein shake like milkshake...yummmmm

by the way the shake was filled to the top it was just to good! 

• chocolate muscle milk light (got  sampler at Costco)
• handful of ice
• splash of milk
• lil scoop of choco protein 

and in the bowl i wanted some things to munch on as i was perusing your blogs.

• dried cherries 
• lil pecans
• 1/2 peach
• small banana

then my boy and i went to Starbucks to try to sell his mac pro to someone interested...the kid has to ask his mom *fingers crossed*

and the boy treated me to a green tea! nice and hot

 I think i am going to take my boy out for dinner if its not storming to much out here.

Crazy ladies late night snacking

well i did do some late night snacking but this milk shake is for the boy, being the best girlfriend ever i made it, the no makeup,bra showing girlfriend.haha

this is part one of late night snacking 3 shots of espresso and lil cream and one splenda o and sugar free hazelnut. I knew i would be up late tonight so i had my caffeine

then as the boy was playing some card games i munched on a banana(3rd one of the day), 7 peanut m&m, and 15 red/white gummy bears. i found out gummy bears not my favorite things made me feel sikky.

Food/ ME questionar

SO i joined in on the blogger swap and since i just joined the blogging community i wanted to be able to help my secret blogger. if it was me i would be stressin about what to get this person who has only 2 posts!!!! This will also be a about me post.

5 favorite foods?

 1. chocolate

 2. 2% fage

 3. Peanut butter

 4. homemade goodies

 5. laura bar-choco variety, cashew cookie,pecan pie

5 least favorite foods

1.meat

2. fruity chocolate

3.chips/junky food

4. granola-just because its so caloric dense it scares me(i know weird)

5. peanuts(alone) 

Allergies? nope nada...except penicillin in medicine

extra tidbit : i love trying new healthy things and do not have a trader joes around me. 

 i am not a picky person about food i do not discriminate(except for those 5)

Hobbies- dancing, crafts, fun working out, fashion, reading blogs,shopping, partying, grocery shopping,baking,cooking, mindless errands,thrifting, taking care of myself(home spa days),modeling

magazines? self,shape,women's health,cosmopolitan, glamour,etc

things i wish i could find. PB2, barney butter

Favorite place- the beach(30 min away), whole foods(15 min away)

future? FIU in Miami to study nutrition, modeling on the side, want to run my own bed and breakfast/cafe or something that is very healthy and chill preferably by the beach. 

If i could live anywhere- Greece 

working out? it has to be fun, i like group kickboxing and group total body strength, i want to do some yoga! not a fan of running ( i was a part of the state runner up varsity cross country team at my old school, but since moving i haven't had the same motivation to run and now i do not run) or i do the elliptical for 30 min with some reading material and awesome playlist.

 Now if you want to know anything about me comment and ill answer! i hope this helps secret blogger and by no means do you have to use it just something i thought would be nice. and not leave you in the dark

And the summer storms begin

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY

So i had the worst sleep last night! i kept waking up and i almost decided to stay up but finally stayed asleep long enough till 9 i woke up to beautiful weather. sun was shining and birds chirping so i went to a TURBO KICKBOXING class! This class was defiantly intense and at the end of the class she told us that they are trying this for this gym and we could burn up to 1000 calories a class. WOW! So the teacher is bringing her heart rate monitor next class and see if she burns more then her usaly 500 cals a class. 

I'm pretty pumped, not that i need to lose weight at all! but i do model and want to become more toned and HEALTHY!  not stickily.

     Anyway I ate a banana before i left, i wasn't hungry but knew i would need a lil something. sorry for no picture i was taking pictures as i was driving. ekkkk i know not safe and the pics were very blurry.

 

After the class i went to WHOLE FOODS! i was very tempted to bring my camera inside to show you my whole foods but decided i will do that next time.  For lunch...

  

spinach, BBQ seiten, roasted red pepper,lil corn, back bean salsa, lil chickpea salad. and on the side a piece of naan, 2 plantains,2 tofu something and a faux chicken salad( which tasted just like real chicken salad i even tricked the boy!) 

all this for $10.45!!! 

FUN FACT 2:Whole foods is in the mall plaza as well as my gym...LA Fitness. needless to say i go to whole foods a lot

this was soooo yummy after this i tried( key word tried) to play zoey's new PS2 game star wars 3: revenge of the sith. TOTAL FAILER! haha he whopped my butt and i kept trying since i didn't want him to beat me. But sadly me+video games do not add up to anything. 

FUN FACT: When i was younger i was a TOTAL tomboy and dominated video games. I have no idea where all my skill went

remember how i said it was beautiful outside but the title clearly says storms well this is what me and zoe were driving towards/in

HOLY COW! but this is summer down in south Florida,haha either this or the inferno for us. Obvi its a win win.haha

back to foods here is my snack

 

banana,choco dusted almonds( sooooooooooooooooooo yumtastic) sprinkle of special k and a dash of milk.

Then I had dinner at Zoey's house his mom cooked up steak,potatoes,roasted corn, and garlic bread. Since i do not eat meat i had a lil of everything, not much of the bread but the crust. Zoe eats the bread and i eat his crust...its the best part!

after eating a mucho amount of crust i stepped away from the table and came to the computer to inform you all about my day!

Also today after i have been seeing deals on Costco i decided to go and see what i can find. Once me and zoe got there we found out they were closed due to memorial day! I was defiantly bummed. oh well life goes on...meaning i will be going tomorrow.

Hopefully i will be adding another post later tonight! and this week i am going to pimp this blog. 

first post!!!

SO this is not my first blog but my last one didn't go so well, but after stalking so many of your awesome blogs i have decided to make a new one. I'm not exactly sure what this blog will have but it will mainly be about food and showing you that's its easy peasy to be healthy.  

so today was the first time i took pictures of all my eats!! this is very exciting for me because i always forget to. 

This morning i went to a body works plus abs class but before i went i had this yum yum snack plate of WF yogurt pretzels, dates and a Lil spoon of PB. All on a graduation plate because yes i have finally finished high school!!!!!

It took a while for me to get hungry again so i putsyed around my boys house and did the dishes and made us some brekkie. 

   i am in love with fruit and i absolutely love having a big plate/bowl of an assortment of them. today's was a red delicious apple,small banana, 1/2 a mango, and half a orange.

     I had a very long reading time while my boy was jamming ( he plays the drums) with his buddies. I finished the book "French Women Don't Get Fat" my review will be in another post i am running short on time since i have to get ready for a BBQ at my family's house.

anyway i  had a diet coke...i know this is basically  frowned upon in healthy blog world but this is defiantly my vice,as well as chocolate with being super super healthy. But hey no one is perfect.

I did just snack on a slice of bread with 1/2 an avocado and chipolte sauce! super yummy and the drink was a much needed tall, skinny, hazelnut latte with an extra shot...what can i say i like my coffee like i like my men...strong. haha i kid.

My dad has company coming over so he is grilling( my dad wants to be a pit master when he retires) and the husband is vegetarian like me!! So this means he is grilling portobello mushrooms which are awesome grilled ill come back with pictures but for now ill leave you a picture of me and my boy.

 We just celebrated a year and i made sticky rice,wasabi, ahi tuna, miso soup,and all the fixings for sushi and we rolled up sushi together. That is the picture with the whole set up. 

Fun fact. he was the one to push me to make this blog.

by the way all gliding calm is having a giveaway!!!!
